Winter fun with Henry

What's Henry been up to this winter you ask?  You know, a little of this, a little of that... =)

Singing some songs with Dad on Christmas Eve...


Making some phone calls with Uncle Pete on Christmas...

Washing some chairs on a super cold day (Jan 6th - the day it was -30 degrees) ...


Checking his friend's diapers for poop ... the usual.

Happy New Year!

Happy New  Year! So I've come to terms with the fact that I am not going to catch you up on EVERYTHING that happened this past summer, fall, and now winter, so I'm not even going to try.  I'll do some highlights, but I hope to just post whenever I feel like posting and not need to feel bad about recording every thing that Henry or LJ and I do.  Sound good?  Ok, cool.  =) 

2014 has gotten off to a very COLD start, but on days when it is above 20 degrees I'm taking full advantage of the "nice" weather by being outside as much as we can.  I'm hoping things will start warming up soon (but not holding my breath, as it is winter in WI).  In the meantime are finding lots of fun warmer (ie:  indoor) things to do in this cold, while making sure to get out and ski or play in the snow when we can! 

I am excited that 2014 is here and hope that we have joyful adventures ahead of us in the coming year.  It's such a gift to get a new year to start fresh, re-visit old plans, and look forward to the future.  I'm really looking forward to what 2014 has in store for us. 

I'm loving working part-time at Root Down Yoga Studio as the Yoga Sprouts (children's classes) program coordinator, and I'm teaching many of the kids yoga classes there.  Hopefully this year I can grow in my yoga practice and my teaching and do my 200 hour yoga teacher training in the summer! 

Henry will be turning two in March, which just amazes me how quickly these past two years have FLOWN by.  It is such a joy to see him growing up and learning and doing so many new things, but it is also a bit bittersweet because my little baby is growing up!  I try to cherish every moment that I can with him. 

I'm hoping 2014 will bring us some adventures and fun, but mostly I'm hoping that 2014 will be filled with lots of LOVE.  =) 

Happy New Year to you and yours!

Love, 

Em, LJ, and Henry 

Love these two the best.  12.24.13

Happy Christmas, Henry! 12.25.13
